  1. Man just saw this. RIP to a legend
  2. For sure, but he has to beat Roglic and Evenepoel. That's a hell of an ask. I'm pulling for him though, I'm a big fan.
  3. I mean, I would love to see it, but that is a bold call. He did look great on Puy de Dome last year
  4. I feel like this is what the guys who got to watch Merckx and Coppi must have felt like.
  5. Never change Tadej

    RIP Bob Heil

    Peter Frampton is forever in your debt. Even though Roger Troutman was way more legit. https://www.radioworld.com/news-and-business/headlines/audio-innovator-bob-heil-dies
  7. McLaren looking pretty average.
  8. I don't know about the first thing, but the second part is guaranteed.
  9. Heading to the P&W gig obviously
  10. Best Wout has looked in awhile today
  11. Shit I didn't even think to Google it, looks like it went down last week. Its literally like 50 feet from getting in the breakwater. Almost made it. https://www.local10.com/news/local/2024/02/19/2-rescued-from-sinking-boat-off-key-west/
  12. There's a boat sunk on the rocks out front of Key West Bight right now as well. I should go try and get a picture
  13. Damn Poliiltt gave Tratnik the perfect lead out
  14. Bienvenidos a Miami
  15. I was definitely a hater, but I kind of grew to respect him later in his career. I was at Budds Creek for the MXoN in 2007, his last race, and seeing how fast he was in person was staggering. He had to give up his gate to Villopoto in the first moto, got wiped out at the start, then proceeded to pass everyone but two dudes.
  16. They has a symbiotic relationship for sure.

    RIP Bobby Tench

    Haven't seen this reported anywhere else, but sad if true. Dude was crazy versatile. https://dmme.net/bobby-tench-departed-for-better-world/
  18. I love some cars too obviously. Only so many hours in the day unfortunately
  19. One thing I can say is there is not a lot of sitting still when racing boats. It's a pretty much constant movement to keep weight in the right place to the point of annoyance almost if you weren't focused on winning. One thing I am actually a little ambivalent about is modern raceboats are requiring an athleticism to a degree that is almost becoming disqualifying for a good number of people and I'm not sure that is a good thing. The thing about sailing that I think needs to be experienced to really get is the sheer power of harnessing nature, the wind and the waves. The loads can be extremely high, thousands and even tens of thousands of pounds on lines. Its a lot of technique and knowledge to manage them, you can't just brute force it. The knock on from that is its a lot more intense, going 10 knots in a sailboat is like 20 in a powerboat. Going 20 is like 50 in a powerboat. And when you are going 20, that is in conditions and sea state that is starting to get pretty hairy.
  20. That is badass my friend, I'm pumped for you!
